Peter Zijlstra 894af4a1cd objtool: Validate kCFI calls ...

Validate that all indirect calls adhere to kCFI rules. Notably doing
nocfi indirect call to a cfi function is broken.

Apparently some Rust 'core' code violates this and explodes when ran
with FineIBT.

All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.

 - runtime EFI is especially henous because it also needs to disable
   IBT. Basically calling unknown code without CFI protection at
   runtime is a massice security issue.

 - Kexec image handover; if you can exploit this, you get to keep it :-)
